Insomnia and delirium, awake at 4 AM
The bed doesn't feel warm and cozy, like it doesn't belong to me
Everything that I desire goes against all I require to keep going
But I know I'm not the only one out here, there's more of them
I'm sure I''m not the only one who believes in love
Not the kind in saturated love songs
Or in nonsensical fabricated romantic comedies
But in the kind where the hearts beat out of time together and the sensation is expressible but the two involved can understand the ecstatic passion in their minds and bodies
I hope I am not the singled out protester
Against the back handed complements put upon those looking for a admiring passer by
The lone stargazer with a faithful notion that more is out there and we are so small in the scheme of things but just as necessary as the rest of the universe
The last of the proprietors of peace, I pray I am one of many
Raise your hand if you've felt one of the following and while your at it shed a tear for the fellow phalanges in the sky
-Enraged
-Frightened
-Skeptical
-Disappointed
-Ashamed
-Dismayed
-Abandoned
-Forgotten
-Unimportant
-Betrayed
-Hurt
-Humiliated
Both of my hands are right along side yours and they may be *****, have scars and bruises
But you know what?
They still work and they're still strong and will grapple the next hardship I face
And your hand will endure to, with your heart and the sense of what you need and what you want
At the next show of hand lets raise them to see whose felt enlightened, loved, courageous, inspired and proud
That way maybe none of us ever have to feel alone
